COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Kokanee is a 5.0 percent alcohol (by volume) lager that is smooth, clean and lightly hopped. It is brewed with mountain stream fed water and a blend of 3 malts and features a unique combination of superior Western-grown North American hops. Brewed in the Kootenay Mountains of British Columbia by the Columbia Brewing Company, Kokanee is British Columbia's most popular beer over the last 10 years. Since its introduction to the Northwest U.S. in the summer of 1994, many people have discovered and enjoyed Kokanee's cool, crisp, glacier fresh taste.

Had this on draught last night; I guess it’s time to review my province’s most rated beer. Transparent yellow, no head. Nose is mostly metal and bread. Flavour is same, slightly more hop grassiness than the average pale lager which may have brought up the ratings as otherwise this is an awful beer that I couldn’t finish... the metallic breadiness is something else, I even prefer most crappy Asian lagers to this one.

Was introduced to this on a great 4th of July weekend in Fargo with family a few years ago. The appearance & aroma are very similar to a light beer, pale yellow with a thin white head and a fairly non-existent aroma. However, the flavor is much more enjoyable. Taste is corn, with subtle hops, crisp and clean. Easy drinking & recomended.

One of the better pale lagers I’ve tried, cereal in nature, but smooth and mild, and tastes really good. Surprised, but pleasantly so. Cereal grains mainly in aroma and taste, Mouthfeel is light, but not watery. Refreshing, and easy to drink.
